If you could live in any era, which would it be?

I’d live in 18th-century France, surrounded by ornate architecture, art, and the elegance of everyday life. Think sunlit salons, garden strolls and moments of playful romance with intimate gatherings in good company.

How do you bring romance into everyday living?

Romance is everywhere if you look for it: a carefully set table, a pastry shared with someone you love, a walk at golden hour, or a favourite song playing while you cook.

I sprinkle a little romance into each day, one small detail at a time.

Your dream day, from sunrise to sunset

My dream day begins with sunrise light spilling into a quiet breakfast, surrounded by a garden of flowers. The afternoon drifts through wandering markets, collecting treasures and inspiration, and a peaceful walk along the beach before baking something sweet. Evening arrives with friends for an intimate dinner, candlelight, laughter, and music — ending under a sky full of stars.

A guilty pleasure that inspires you?

I love collecting things, little chachkees and forgotten curiosities. I cannot resist. I’ll spend hours searching for the tiniest treasures.
It always sparks ideas for my designs and tablescapes.

If you could live in any painting, which one would it be?

Boucher’s Four Seasons, surrounded by opulence, playful details, and endless colour. It’s a world that feels fanciful, romantic, and endlessly inspiring.
